operation and scope.
Major Cavanah said that he had
spoken to Congressman Payson, the
author of the bill, on the subject; and
that that gentleman was very anxious
to correct his mistake, as he called it,
but wanted all the assistance possible.
After some further discussion of
the subject. matter, Texas Angel,
chairman Of the meeting, appointed
Messrs. Frank P. Cavanah, James H.
Beatty and w. T. Riley a committee
TO draft a petition, have it printed,
circulated for signatures in the vari-
GUS counties, and forwarded to our
Delegate in Congress.
In order to defray the cost OF
printing, stationery, postage, etc.
(Which is estimated at about s2O)

quest the business men of HALEY to
contribute 50 cents apiece.

Don't Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time in
experimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems at
first only a cold. Do not permit any
dealer to impose upon you with some
imitation of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for consumption, coughs and colds, but
be sure you get the genuine. Because
he can make more profit he may tell you
heinas something just as good, or just the
same. Don't be deceived, but insist
upon getting DR.. Kings New Discovery,
which is guaranteed to give relief in all
throat, lung and chest affections. Trial

1t is common nowadays foryoung
gentlemen and ladies-especially
ladies-to be performers on the
piano, many of whom, through
practice, make themselves renown-
ed in the art. But it is not so com
mon with a big Nez Perce Indian
with painted face and blanket
hiding his nakedness, as our re-
porter found one the other day
while visiting a music store. Here
was one of this noble race seated
at an organ with music before him,
playing with all skill and accuracy
that many of our young ladies do;
he read his notes readily and exc
cuted them with perfection. He
could but talk but little English,
but apparently bright, noble fell
low Upon questioning him, it was
ascertained that Mrs Macbeth, of
Kamai, was his teacher, to whom,
certainly, great credit is due.
Indian Webb Testament's son
while cunning on the Sweetwater-
twelve miles east of Lewiston-the
other day, came in contact with a
Cinnamon bear. He cooked his
gun, took aim at his antagonist and
pulled the trigger, but the gun fail
ed; again he pulled the trigger, but
to no avail, and at that moment the
bear reared on his hind legs and
with his large paws tore from the
Indians forehead to the back of his
neck one continuous strip of his
scalp. The Indian, by some means,
miracuously escaped. DR.. MCGEE,
the Agency physician was called,
and upon his arrival found young
Webb very weak from the loss of
blood. The bear was reported to be
a mammoth beast. We presume
Mr.. Bear thought Mr.. Indians
widely known reputation as
scalper was becoming irksome to
the American people, and that Mr..
Bear would show the good people
that Indians were not the only
scalpers in the world.

In the case of Bliss and Payne
the two men indicted for horse
stealing, Payne, the negro, with
drew his plea of not guilty and en-
tered the plea of guilty. Bliss, a
young white man, was turned loose
on nolle pros entered by District
Attorney Bennett. 1t seems that
Bliss had been merely hired by
Payne to drive the horses to Utah
and was entirely ignorant of the
true character of the horses. The
Judge, after inquiring into his pre-
vious character turned him loose
